Your fun in the sun is asking for a change in scenery.
Not from your hometown to Myrtle Beach, but in places we spend time in the most bipedal way we know: walking. Whether you’ve just rocked a banana boat or a calabash buffet, a walk is what you might need next. There are places here that serve as perfect backdrops, too.
Headed to the end of a pier or on a circuitous hike? Check these places out.
3 Tips for Walking on Vacation
1. Wear comfortable shoes. A good fit with plenty of arch support is best, with substance over style! Be sure they’re broken in.
2. Hydrate! Not with soda on the Boardwalk and margaritas on the Marshwalk. Not only soda, anyway. Carry a reusable water bottle. Especially in summer.
3. Sock selection. Invest in a well-padded, breathable pair. Wear a thin layer underneath them to ward off blisters.
